Orr has been reporting the weather for forty-two years. Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “To remind us that the sun will shine again,” she replied, adding a heart emoji. “The real reason? Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot. The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having an air-conditioner. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her, great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 4. What kind of person is Orr according to paragraph 1? A. Hardworking and serious. B. Curious and committed. C. Professional and inspiring. D. Knowledgeable and brave. 5. Why was Orr respected by the residents? A. She overcame tough living conditions. B. She devoted herself to helping others. C. She had many contacts on the Internet. D. She returned home after the hurricane. 6. Why as Orr’s experience in 1965 mentioned? A. To indicate the absence of rescue efforts. B. To highlight the power of natural disasters. C. To stress the necessity of weather forecasting. D. To show weather conditions’ attraction to her. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Orr’s connection with home. B. Orr’s knowledge of weather. C. Orr’s optimism about life. D. Orr’s love for her daughter. C When you’ve reached the top of your game, where can you go next? It’s a question that troubles the main character of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s latest novel, the 1990s-set tennis story Carrie Soto Is Back, coming August 30. Carrie, 37, steps out of retirement to reclaim the record that made her a legend, just tied by a young player. With 20 Grand Slams (大满贯) to her name, she’s desperate to live up to the reputation for dominance she once believed was unimpeachable but now feels slipping away, forcing her to reconsider if she’s expecting too much of herself in an attempt to prove her worth to the world. Reid, 38, knows these feelings well. She’s been working for a decade, producing book after book, the last three of which, part of a quartet (四部曲) about famous women, have finally made the author a household name. Carrie Soto is the final book of the series. Each of the books centres on an aggressive character managing the tensions between her charming life in the public eye and the pressures she feels in private. And each captures a specific time and place, with Reid skillfully collecting minute yet meaningful details to help build immersive worlds. For Carrie Soto, that meant learning about a sport she had barely ever watched, let alone played; reading on game strategy and technique; studying different playing styles and court surfaces; and watching old matches, absorbing the language of commentators. Reid brings this intensity to all her eight books in the last nine years. But now that her quartet is finished, Reid is determined to rest. It’s fitting, then, that the author decided to end the quartet with a story about a woman struggling with her constant pursuit of success — and finally realizing it might just be too much. “This isn’t really a story about whether Carrie can win a Slam,” she says. “It’s about whether she can stop climbing mountains.” 8. What does the underlined word “unimpeachable” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. At risk. B. Beyond doubt. C. Under debate. D. Of importance. 9. Which of the following is true about Carrie Soto Is Back? A. It brought fame to its author. B. Its author is a tennis enthusiast. C. It focuses on achievements of athletes. D. Its story features a strong sense of reality. 10. Why is Carrie Soto Is Back a suitable ending for Reid’s series? A. It results from her nine-year efforts. B. It marks the peak of her writing career. C. It mirrors her wish to quit success addiction. D. It inspires her to learn from her character. 11. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce a new book. B. To argue for life-long learning. C. To tell a tennis player’s story. D. To call attention to famous women. D Skoltech researchers have developed a mathematical model to explore memory function, with findings published in Scientific Reports that could advance robotics, AI, and our understanding of human memory storage (储存量). Notably, the study suggests an ideal number of senses may exist. Following an early 20th-century research tradition, the team focused on modeling engrams, the basic units of memory. An engram is a set of neurons (神经元) spread across different brain regions that activate together, each representing a concept defined by specific features. For humans, these features are related to sensory experiences: the concept of a banana, for example, includes its look, smell, taste, and other sensory characteristics. In this framework, a banana becomes a five-dimensional object in the brain’s mental space that holds all stored memories. Engrams evolve over time becoming sharper or more unclear depending on how often they are activated by external sensory input. “We have mathematically demonstrated that engrams tend to evolve toward a steady state,” explained study co-author Professor Nikolay Brilliantov of Skoltech AI. “After some short period, a ‘mature’ distribution of engrams emerges and continues.” A key discovery came when the team examined the ultimate capacity of conceptual spaces with different numbers of dimensions. “Somewhat surprisingly, we found that the number of distinct engrams stored in the steady state is greatest for a seven-dimensional concept space. Brilliantov noted this led to the “seven senses claim”: if each dimension corresponds to a sense, seven senses would maximize memory capacity and deepen overall understanding of the world. Importantly, this number is stable — it doesn’t rely on the model’s specific details. Though the conclusion about human senses is highly theoretical, Brilliantov added that the findings will be vital to gaining new insights into the human mind and creating humanlike memory in AI agents. 12. What can be learned about engrams? A. They will grow into a temporary mature state. B. They were found in an early 20th century research. C. They represent concepts of five-dimensional features. D. They can be stimulated by inputting sensory experiences. 13. What should be done to maximize memory storage according to the study? A. Putting memories in the mental space. B. Activating engrams in the steady state. C. Matching dimensions with sensory features. D. Constructing a concept space with seven-senses. 14. What is Brilliantov’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Evolution of Engrams Demonstrated by Researchers B New Model Reveals the Key to Memory Maximum C. Modeling Engrams: The secrets of Human Memory D. Seven Senses: Revolution in AI Memory Technology 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Offload Thoughts In our busy world, we rush from task to task, seek out methods to help us maximize our productivity, but end up running on a never-ending hamster (仓鼠) wheel.____16____ It feels like our entire lives are engineered toward one question: How much can I get done in the least amount of time? Research shows that spending too much time optimizing (优化) our thoughts for perfect outcomes not only leaves us feeling exhausted, but can also have harmful effects on our wellbeing and work output. Optimizing thoughts requires being highly focused, but efficiency isn’t always productive when we pursue it.____17____ And to some extent, it can even cause impulsive (鲁莽的) decision-making. Our brain essentially has two main modes of operating: the “focus network” and the “default mode network”. When one network works, the other physically can’t turn on. The modern world often demands we live in the focus network and the default mode network is often less celebrated.____18____So in order to make more effective decisions and feel better in our daily lives, we have to spend less time in our brain’s“focus network”. Cognitive (认知的) offloading is an accessible practice. It has the potential to not only release emotions, but enhance mental capabilities, too. Even just a few moments of creative flow — like offloading the feelings of anxiety by drawing casually before a meeting — can have a strong impact on emotions.____19____ We might try cognitive offloading as a transition from our action-oriented workday into a more relaxed evening routine. ____20____. And we can see what takes shape. Some unproductive pathways often can lead us to a more creative, refreshed and alive mind. A. Give ourselves a few minutes to offload our emotions. B. This constant pressure, in fact, has a clear scientific explanation. C Being focused all the time can eventually lead to less self-control. D. It’s no surprise that the majority of us feel more exhausted than ever. E. Switching to the default mode network requires conscious effort at first. F. But spending more time on the latter offers “insurance” for our emotions. G. Besides, this exercise can help give the brain the space to make new connections. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I always give the same advice to travel enthusiasts: Wherever home is, that is where you should begin. However, I was ____21____ at following my own advice, for I have rarely explored my hometown — until now. With all of my foreign trips ____22____, I decided to travel north from my home, Sweden. Unsurprisingly, my journey went smoothly, the scenery along the way breathtaking and picturesque, but my guide, Johan, opened my ____23____ to something else. One day, on a snowmobile path ____24____ tall trees on both sides, he asked me what I saw. “Trees,” I answered. “A forest.” Johan shook his head, explaining, “Not a forest. A ____25____. Soon, this is all that will be left.” He added that the straight rows of trees of the same species and size were grown by people. Johan was right. For over half a century now, the ancient forest that once seemed so ____26____has continued to be cruelly cut down for biofuels and paper, and, in its place stand plantations of pine (松树). Only a small part of the ancient forest ____27____, and that part grows smaller every year. The Sám, a native people there, are facing an. existential ____28____. Their lives and culture are ____29____ linked to the ancient forest and the reindeer that populate the region. The slow-growing lichen (地衣) and mushrooms which the reindeer ____30____ are not found in any pine plantations.____31____, the death of one means the death of the other, and an ____32____ future for an entire people. “We’re not ____33____ in nature, but part of it.” Johan’s words echoed in my mind as I looked at the _____34_____ forest of the North. Too many of us have forgotten this truth — and with that forgetfulness, we may risk the ____35____ of not only the wild but also ourselves. 21. A. skillful B. powerless C. terrible D. surprised 22. A. extended B. canceled C. scheduled D. confirmed 23. A. eyes B. ears C. heart D. arms 24. A. equipped with B. coated with C. dotted with D. lined with 25. A. jungle B. grassland C. tree D. plantation 26. A. valueless B. endless C. limited D. deserted 27. A. remains B. decreases C. matters D. evolves 28. A. condition B. crisis C. opportunity D. question 29. A. negatively B. hardly C. slightly D. closely 30. A. feed on B. sleep on C. step on D. move on 31. A. However B. Otherwise C. Therefore D. Nevertheless 32. A. unfamiliar B. uncertain C. incredible D. upcoming 33. A. friends B. residents C. volunteers D. visitors 34. A. emerging B. expanding C. disappearing D. growing 35. A. survival B. revival C. safety D. stability 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Archaeologists (考古学家) investigating the tomb of the Marquis of Haihun in east China’s Jiangxi Province discovered the world’s ____36____ (old) steel acupuncture (针灸) needles. The delicate needles dating back to the time of the Western Han Dynasty ____37____ (find) within a jade tube initially. A wooden label lying nearby ____38____ (mark) with the words “Nine Needles Complete” confirms their identification, as ancient Chinese medical texts recommend the use of nine different needles during acupuncture. Each needle ____39____ (measure) 0.3 to 0.5 millimeters in diameter. Yang, leader of team noted that they were likely wrapped in cloth prior to ____40____ (place) in the jade tube, a practice that ensured cleanliness and safe handling. Analysis indicated that the needles were made from steel created with an advanced technique known ____41____ the “frying” process, allowing for their extraordinary ____42____ (thin). It was essential that the medical instruments be made from steel, since gold and silver are too soft, ____43____ iron rusts (生锈) too easily, which could cause infection. This breakthrough in material science directly fueled the evolution of acupuncture tools and the progress of medical practice itself. The discovery represents the wisdom and precision with ____44____ ancient physicians practiced their healing art, ____45____ legacy that continues to inspire traditional medicine today. 第四部分 写作(共两节;满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是校学生会主席李华，外教Chris上个月答应为学校“缤纷艺术节”宣传册撰写英文简介，请给Chris写一封邮件，内容包括： (1)询问进展; (2)提醒提交时间。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, I hope this email finds you well. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes, Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Mrs. Harriet had always lived alone in an old wooden house. Her husband had passed away ten years earlier, and most of her old friends were gone. Her world had grown quiet except for the hum of bees and the rustle of leaves in her yard. Yet every summer, tall sunflowers rose behind her fence, their golden heads facing the light as if keeping her company. One warm afternoon, Nora, a shy girl who hardly dared to speak to others, wandered past Mrs. Harriet’s gate. Drawn by the shimmer of yellow in the yard, she hesitated before stepping inside. Sunflowers towered over her, and on many stems (花茎) hung small glass jars (玻璃罐) carrying handwritten labels. Each bore a name and a simple characteristic, such as “Sofia, 2020. Good at singing.” or “Walter, 2022. Always smiles.” The jars puzzled her, yet something gentle stirred as she read them one by one. At the far end of the garden stood Mrs. Harriet, watering a sunflower whose petals glowed softly in the afternoon light. The jar beside it read,“My dear Jack, 2015. loves sunflowers.” Gathering her courage, Nora asked why the flowers had names. Mrs. Harriet looked up, her expression tender. She explained that after Jack died, she began planting sunflowers, naming each for someone who had brightened her days, and adding one characteristic she hoped never to forget. Speaking the names aloud, she said, made the quiet garden feel less empty. They lingered among the tall blooms until the light softened at sunset. As Nora prepared to leave, Mrs. Harriet opened her wooden box and took out a small glass jar. Inside lay a single sunflower seed. She placed it carefully in Nora’s hands, her gesture quiet and warm, as if offering the beginning of something new. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Holding the jar, Nora followed Mrs. Harriet and stopped before a corner of soft soil. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the weeks that followed, Nora returned to Mrs. Harriet’s garden every day. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西南大学附中高2026届高三上12月定时检测 英语试题 (满分： 150分;考试时间： 120分钟) 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、班级、考场/座位号、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.答选择题时，必须使用 2B铅笔填涂;答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米的黑色签字笔书写;必须在题号对应的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写无效;保持答卷清洁、完整。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回(试题卷学生保存，以备评讲)。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Orr has been reporting the weather for forty-two years. Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm. “To remind us that the sun will shine again,” she replied, adding a heart emoji. “The real reason? Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot. The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having an air-conditioner. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her, great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said. “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 4. What kind of person is Orr according to paragraph 1? A. Hardworking and serious. B. Curious and committed. C. Professional and inspiring. D. Knowledgeable and brave. 5. Why was Orr respected by the residents? A. She overcame tough living conditions. B. She devoted herself to helping others. C. She had many contacts on the Internet. D. She returned home after the hurricane. 6. Why as Orr’s experience in 1965 mentioned? A. To indicate the absence of rescue efforts. B. To highlight the power of natural disasters. C. To stress the necessity of weather forecasting. D. To show weather conditions’ attraction to her. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Orr’s connection with home. B. Orr’s knowledge of weather. C. Orr’s optimism about life. D. Orr’s love for her daughter. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7.

This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no, I couldn’t.” (“时不时地，在推特上，你会看到人们说，你为什么住在那里？嗯，我住在这里是因为这是我的家。这是我长大的地方。这是我热爱的故土。”“卡特里娜飓风过后，我曾想，我还能住到别的地方去吗？然后我确定，不能。”)”可知，该段主要讲述奥尔与家乡之间深厚的羁绊。故选A项。 C When you’ve reached the top of your game, where can you go next? It’s a question that troubles the main character of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s latest novel, the 1990s-set tennis story Carrie Soto Is Back, coming August 30. Carrie, 37, steps out of retirement to reclaim the record that made her a legend, just tied by a young player. With 20 Grand Slams (大满贯) to her name, she’s desperate to live up to the reputation for dominance she once believed was unimpeachable but now feels slipping away, forcing her to reconsider if she’s expecting too much of herself in an attempt to prove her worth to the world. Reid, 38, knows these feelings well. She’s been working for a decade, producing book after book, the last three of which, part of a quartet (四部曲) about famous women, have finally made the author a household name. Carrie Soto is the final book of the series. Each of the books centres on an aggressive character managing the tensions between her charming life in the public eye and the pressures she feels in private. And each captures a specific time and place, with Reid skillfully collecting minute yet meaningful details to help build immersive worlds. For Carrie Soto, that meant learning about a sport she had barely ever watched, let alone played; reading on game strategy and technique; studying different playing styles and court surfaces; and watching old matches, absorbing the language of commentators. Reid brings this intensity to all her eight books in the last nine years. But now that her quartet is finished, Reid is determined to rest. It’s fitting, then, that the author decided to end the quartet with a story about a woman struggling with her constant pursuit of success — and finally realizing it might just be too much. “This isn’t really a story about whether Carrie can win a Slam,” she says. “It’s about whether she can stop climbing mountains.” 8. What does the underlined word “unimpeachable” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. At risk. B. Beyond doubt. C. Under debate. D. Of importance. 9. Which of the following is true about Carrie Soto Is Back? A. It brought fame to its author. B. Its author is a tennis enthusiast. C. It focuses on achievements of athletes. D. Its story features a strong sense of reality. 10. Why is Carrie Soto Is Back a suitable ending for Reid’s series? A. It results from her nine-year efforts. B. It marks the peak of her writing career. C. It mirrors her wish to quit success addiction. D. It inspires her to learn from her character. 11. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce a new book. B. To argue for life-long learning. C. To tell a tennis player’s story. D. To call attention to famous women. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11.

Notably, the study suggests an ideal number of senses may exist. Following an early 20th-century research tradition, the team focused on modeling engrams, the basic units of memory. An engram is a set of neurons (神经元) spread across different brain regions that activate together, each representing a concept defined by specific features. For humans, these features are related to sensory experiences: the concept of a banana, for example, includes its look, smell, taste, and other sensory characteristics. In this framework, a banana becomes a five-dimensional object in the brain’s mental space that holds all stored memories. Engrams evolve over time, becoming sharper or more unclear depending on how often they are activated by external sensory input. “We have mathematically demonstrated that engrams tend to evolve toward a steady state,” explained study co-author Professor Nikolay Brilliantov of Skoltech AI. “After some short period, a ‘mature’ distribution of engrams emerges and continues.” A key discovery came when the team examined the ultimate capacity of conceptual spaces with different numbers of dimensions. “Somewhat surprisingly, we found that the number of distinct engrams stored in the steady state is greatest for a seven-dimensional concept space. Brilliantov noted this led to the “seven senses claim”: if each dimension corresponds to a sense, seven senses would maximize memory capacity and deepen overall understanding of the world. Importantly, this number is stable — it doesn’t rely on the model’s specific details. Though the conclusion about human senses is highly theoretical, Brilliantov added that the findings will be vital to gaining new insights into the human mind and creating humanlike memory in AI agents. 12. What can be learned about engrams? A. They will grow into a temporary mature state. B. They were found in an early 20th century research. C. They represent concepts of five-dimensional features. D. They can be stimulated by inputting sensory experiences. 13. What should be done to maximize memory storage according to the study? A. Putting memories in the mental space. B. Activating engrams in the steady state. C. Matching dimensions with sensory features. D. Constructing a concept space with seven-senses. 14. What is Brilliantov’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Evolution of Engrams Demonstrated by Researchers B New Model Reveals the Key to Memory Maximum C. Modeling Engrams: The secrets of Human Memory D. Seven Senses: Revolution in AI Memory Technology 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Skoltech研究人员开发的数学模型对记忆功能的探索，包括记忆基本单元“记忆痕迹”的特性，以及该研究关于“理想感官数量”的发现，及其对人工智能等领域的意义。 12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“Engrams evolve over time, becoming sharper or more unclear depending on how often they are activated by external sensory input.(记忆痕迹随时间演变，其清晰或模糊程度取决于外部感官输入激活它们的频率)”可知，记忆痕迹可通过输入感官体验来刺激。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段“we found that the number of distinct engrams stored in the steady state is greatest for a seven-dimensional concept space (我们发现，七维概念空间中稳定状态下存储的独特记忆痕迹数量最多) 以及“if each dimension corresponds to a sense, seven senses would maximize memory capacity and deepen overall understanding of the world (如果每个维度对应一种感官，那么七种感官将能最大化记忆容量，同时加深对世界的整体认知)”可知，七维概念空间（对应七种感官）能让稳定状态下储存的独特记忆印迹数量最多，从而最大化记忆容量。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Brilliantov added that the findings will be vital to gaining new insights into the human mind and creating humanlike memory in AI agents (Brilliantov补充说，这些发现对深入了解人类思维、在AI智能体中构建类人记忆至关重要)”可知，他对研究结果的态度是积极肯定的。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“developed a mathematical model to explore memory function (研发了一个数学模型来探究记忆功能)”和“the study suggests an ideal number of senses may exist (这项研究表明，或许存在一个能实现最优效果的感官数量)”、第四段“seven senses would maximize memory capacity (七种感官能使记忆容量最大化)”以及最后一段“the findings will be vital to gaining new insights into the human mind and creating humanlike memory in AI agents (这些发现对深入了解人类思维、在AI智能体中构建类人记忆至关重要)”可知，主要介绍了Skoltech研究人员开发的数学模型对记忆功能的探索，包括记忆基本单元“记忆痕迹”的特性，以及该研究关于“理想感官数量”的发现，及其对人工智能等领域的意义。B选项“New Model Reveals the Key to Memory Maximum(新模型揭示了内存最大化的关键)”可以作为最佳标题，完整涵盖了文章“新模型+记忆最大化关键”的核心逻辑。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Offload Thoughts In our busy world, we rush from task to task, seek out methods to help us maximize our productivity, but end up running on a never-ending hamster (仓鼠) wheel.____16____ It feels like our entire lives are engineered toward one question: How much can I get done in the least amount of time? Research shows that spending too much time optimizing (优化) our thoughts for perfect outcomes not only leaves us feeling exhausted, but can also have harmful effects on our wellbeing and work output. Optimizing thoughts requires being highly focused, but efficiency isn’t always productive when we pursue it.____17____ And to some extent, it can even cause impulsive (鲁莽的) decision-making. Our brain essentially has two main modes of operating: the “focus network” and the “default mode network”. When one network works, the other physically can’t turn on. The modern world often demands we live in the focus network and the default mode network is often less celebrated.____18____So in order to make more effective decisions and feel better in our daily lives, we have to spend less time in our brain’s“focus network”. Cognitive (认知的) offloading is an accessible practice. It has the potential to not only release emotions, but enhance mental capabilities, too. Even just a few moments of creative flow — like offloading the feelings of anxiety by drawing casually before a meeting — can have a strong impact on emotions.____19____ We might try cognitive offloading as a transition from our action-oriented workday into a more relaxed evening routine. ____20____. And we can see what takes shape. Some unproductive pathways often can lead us to a more creative, refreshed and alive mind. A. Give ourselves a few minutes to offload our emotions. B. This constant pressure, in fact, has a clear scientific explanation. C. Being focused all the time can eventually lead to less self-control. D. It’s no surprise that the majority of us feel more exhausted than ever. E. Switching to the default mode network requires conscious effort at first. F. But spending more time on the latter offers “insurance” for our emotions. G. Besides, this exercise can help give the brain the space to make new connections. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了现代社会中人们过度追求效率带来的问题，以及大脑的两种运作模式，同时提出“认知卸载”这一缓解压力、提升状态的方法。 【16题详解】 上文“In our busy world, we rush from task to task, seek out methods to help us maximize our productivity, but end up running on a never-ending hamster wheel.

(在某种程度上，它甚至会导致鲁莽决策。)”是递进的负面影响。C选项“一直保持专注最终会导致自我控制能力下降”承接上文“过度专注的问题”，同时衔接下文“鲁莽决策”的后果。故选C项。 【18题详解】 上文“Our brain essentially has two main modes of operating: the “focus network” and the “default mode network”. When one network works, the other physically can’t turn on. The modern world often demands we live in the focus network and the default mode network is often less celebrated. (我们的大脑本质上有两种主要运作模式：“专注网络”和“默认模式网络”。这两种网络是“互斥”的——其中一个启动时，另一个就会生理性地无法运转。现代社会往往要求我们时刻处于“专注网络”模式，而“默认模式网络”则常被轻视。)”介绍了大脑的两种模式，下文“So in order to make more effective decisions and feel better in our daily lives, we have to spend less time in our brain’s “focus network”. (所以，为了在日常生活中做出更有效的决策、让自己状态更好，我们得少让大脑处于“专注网络”模式。)”是结论，空处需衔接两种模式的关系，F选项“但更多地使用后者能为我们的情绪提供“保障”既呼应了“默认模式网络”，也解释了为何要减少“专注网络”的使用。故选F项。 【19题详解】 上文“Even just a few moments of creative flow — like offloading the feelings of anxiety by drawing casually before a meeting — can have a strong impact on emotions. (哪怕只是短暂地进入创意流畅状态——比如开会前随便画几笔，把焦虑情绪“卸载”掉——也能对情绪产生明显的影响。）”说明“认知卸载”的好处，空处需进一步补充其优势。G选项“此外，这种练习能帮助大脑获得建立新连接的空间。”中的“Besides”承接上文的好处，“help give the brain the space to make new connections”也与下文“lead us to a more creative, refreshed and alive mind (更有创造力、更清醒的状态)”呼应。故选G项。 【20题详解】 下文“And we can see what takes shape. Some unproductive pathways often can lead us to a more creative, refreshed and alive mind. (然后我们就能看到最终的变化。一些看似无成效的方式，往往能让我们的思维变得更具创造力、更清醒焕发，也更富有活力。)”是具体做法的结果，空处需提出“认知卸载”的具体行动。A选项“给我们自己几分钟时间来释放情绪。”是具体的“认知卸载”行为，承接上文“try cognitive offloading (尝试认知卸载)”的建议。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15 小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I always give the same advice to travel enthusiasts: Wherever home is, that is where you should begin.

Nevertheless尽管如此。上文“The slow-growing lichen (地衣) and mushrooms which the reindeer   ”提到驯鹿的食物只存在于原始森林，下文“   , the death of one means the death of the other, and an    future for an entire people.”说森林消失会导致驯鹿和萨米人受影响，上下文是因果关系。故选C。 【32题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：因此，一方的消亡意味着另一方的消亡，整个民族的未来也变得不确定。A. unfamiliar不熟悉的；B. uncertain不确定的；C. incredible难以置信的；D. upcoming即将到来的。根据上文“The slow-growing lichen (地衣) and mushrooms which the reindeer    are not found in any pine plantations.    , the death of one means the death of the other,”森林和驯鹿的存亡与萨米人相关，森林不断缩小，所以萨米人的未来是不确定的。故选B。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们不是大自然的访客，而是它的一部分。A. friends朋友；B. residents居民；C. volunteers志愿者；D. visitors访客。根据下文“but part of it”可知，此处是对比“访客”和“一部分”的关系，强调人与自然不可分割。故选D。 【34题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当我看着北方这片正在消失的森林时，约翰的话在我脑海里回响。A. emerging新兴的；B. expanding扩张的；C. disappearing正在消失的；D. growing生长的。根据上文“Johan was right. For over half a century now, the ancient forest that once seemed so    has continued to be cruelly cut down for biofuels and paper, and, in its place stand plantations of pine (松树).”可知，这片森林正在消失。故选C。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们太多人都忘记了这个事实——而这种遗忘，可能会让我们不仅面临着野生生物的生存危机，也面临着我们自身的生存危机。A. survival生存；B. revival复兴；C. safety安全；D. stability稳定。上文“The Sám, a native people there, are facing an. existential   .”提到萨米人的生存危机，以及人与自然的共生关系。由此可知，遗忘这个事实会威胁到野生生物和人类自身的生存。故选A。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Archaeologists (考古学家) investigating the tomb of the Marquis of Haihun in east China’s Jiangxi Province discovered the world’s ____36____ (old) steel acupuncture (针灸) needles.

Her husband had passed away ten years earlier, and most of her old friends were gone. Her world had grown quiet except for the hum of bees and the rustle of leaves in her yard. Yet every summer, tall sunflowers rose behind her fence, their golden heads facing the light as if keeping her company. One warm afternoon, Nora, a shy girl who hardly dared to speak to others, wandered past Mrs. Harriet’s gate. Drawn by the shimmer of yellow in the yard, she hesitated before stepping inside. Sunflowers towered over her, and on many stems (花茎) hung small glass jars (玻璃罐) carrying handwritten labels. Each bore a name and a simple characteristic, such as “Sofia, 2020. Good at singing.” or “Walter, 2022. Always smiles.” The jars puzzled her, yet something gentle stirred as she read them one by one. At the far end of the garden stood Mrs. Harriet, watering a sunflower whose petals glowed softly in the afternoon light. The jar beside it read,“My dear Jack, 2015. loves sunflowers.” Gathering her courage, Nora asked why the flowers had names. Mrs. Harriet looked up, her expression tender. She explained that after Jack died, she began planting sunflowers, naming each for someone who had brightened her days, and adding one characteristic she hoped never to forget. Speaking the names aloud, she said, made the quiet garden feel less empty. They lingered among the tall blooms until the light softened at sunset. As Nora prepared to leave, Mrs. Harriet opened her wooden box and took out a small glass jar. Inside lay a single sunflower seed. She placed it carefully in Nora’s hands, her gesture quiet and warm, as if offering the beginning of something new. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Holding the jar, Nora followed Mrs. Harriet and stopped before a corner of soft soil. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the weeks that followed, Nora returned to Mrs. Harriet’s garden every day. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Holding the jar, Nora followed Mrs. Harriet and stopped before a corner of soft soil. With Mrs. Harriet’s guidance, she dug a shallow hole, placed the sunflower seed gently inside, and covered it with soil. “What name will you give it?” Mrs. Harriet asked with a smile. Nora hesitated for a moment, then whispered, “Nora, 2025. Finds courage.” She wrote the words on the jar and hung it on a small wooden stick beside the soil. The setting sun cast warm light on the jar, making the words glow softly, as if sealing a precious promise. In the weeks that followed, Nora returned to Mrs. Harriet’s garden every day. She watered the seed carefully, shared her trivial worries with Mrs. Harriet, and gradually lost her shyness. One morning, a tiny green shoot broke through the soil. Nora cheered excitedly and rushed to tell Mrs. Harriet. As the shoot grew into a tall sunflower, their bond deepened. The garden, once quiet, was now filled with laughter. Nora realized that the sunflower not only grew from a seed but also from the warmth of companionship, turning loneliness into joy for both her and Mrs. Harriet. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“向日葵花园的命名秘密”为线索展开，讲述了害羞女孩诺拉偶遇独居的哈里特夫人，发现其花园里的向日葵都承载着珍贵回忆，还收到一颗向日葵种子，开启温暖羁绊的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“诺拉拿着罐子，跟着哈丽特太太，在一块软土的一角前停了下来。”可知，接下来可描写诺拉在哈里特夫人的指引下种下种子，为种子命名并写下自己的成长心愿，完成充满仪式感的播种过程。 ② 由第二段首句“在接下来的几个星期里，诺拉每天都回到哈丽特夫人的花园。”可知，接下来可描写诺拉坚持照料种子，在相处中逐渐敞开心扉、变得开朗，见证种子发芽开花，两人的情谊也随之愈发深厚。 2.续写线索： 跟随指引种下向日葵种子 —— 为种子命名寄托勇气心愿 —— 每日赴园照料分享心事 —— 种子发芽开花见证成长 —— 两人相伴驱散孤独收获温暖 3.词类激活 行为类 ①放置；place/put/position/lay ②低声说：whisper/murmur/speak in a low voice ③把……变成……：turn...into.../transform...into... 情绪类 ①珍贵的：precious/valuable/cherish ②担忧：worry/concern ③欢呼：cheer/applause 【点睛】【高分句型1】The setting sun cast warm light on the jar, making the words glow softly, as if sealing a precious promise.（运用给了状语从句的省略和现在分词making作状语） 【高分句型2】Nora realized that the sunflower not only grew from a seed but also from the warmth of companionship, turning loneliness into joy for both her and Mrs. Harriet.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
